(USATODAY.com) - Holy nostalgia,Caped Crusader! The original 1960sBatmanshow is finally getting a home-video release, and Conan O'Brien couldn't be happier.

USA TODAY confirmed the news that the late-night talk-show hosttweetedto his 9.75 million followers Wednesday:Warner Bros. Entertainmentwill be releasing the complete series this year in a box set. He also added a picture of himself and the classicBatmobilewith the quip, "The seat smells likeAdam West."

The original series, which ran 1966-68 on ABC and in later years in syndication, was many people's introduction to the superhero outside of comics, especially before the Tim BurtonBatmanmovie was released in 1989. And compared to the "Dark Knight" era that began in the 1980s with comics icon Frank Miller and others, the TV show was a lighthearted, campy affair starring West as the earnest Batman and his alter egoBruce Wayne,Burt Wardas Robin andYvonne Craigas Batgirl.

However, the many colorful villains they faced on a weekly basis were arguably more of a draw, with a stable of mainstays including the Joker (Cesar Romero), thePenguin(Burgess Meredith), theRiddler(Frank Gorshin) and three different women to wear the tight leather of Catwoman (Lee Meriwether,Eartha KittandJulie Newmar). Celebrities of the day were regular guest stars, including film directorOtto PremingerasMr. Freeze,Milton Berleas Louie the Lilac,Vincent Priceas Egghead,Liberaceas Chandell and his twin brother Harry, andZsa Zsa Gaboras Minerva.
